Movie theater? My gf? Zombies?

Well in a movie theater u ususaly got fire exits? Those r a no no
You push your way up to the front and out of them..without being trampled to death by the rushing and paniced crowed..you still got the problem of being unarmed out the door and possibly being face to face with 30+ zombies coming at you…and if thats the case….you cant go abck in when ppl r comming out..unless ur suicidal…

Now with a scenerio like this my options become fewer and fewer…look were ppl r running…exits… As stated..you dont know if theres2 or 2000 outside the theater..and your unarmed..and so is your gf..

Personaly id try to break into the projector room… Y? Its decently high off the ground but using team work between me and my gf its reachable…also alot of theaters its a tad hard to get into the projection room so if theres a lock…the zeds would be to focused on easy picking rather then starting to break down the door to the room im in… So i got time…now in a prjection room..i can plan an escape and look for wepons.. Ive been in projection rooms b4 there are some neat little weponds. In older stype theathers ive seen metal bars with handels….y? Somthing to do with the projecter i assume so u can keep and eye out for that.. Also the chairs… Breaking the wood off them…. You also got broken glass from breaking the projector glass window.. There is alot of tape and metal parts can b scavenged from the projector itself….so lay low till its quite…slowly check it out when u think its clear..id leave my gf in the room with some make shift wepon..even the car keys would suffice for somthing… Id leave and check it out.. If its safe i would bring her and travel on foot. Screw my car there not much in there anyways… Now were i live the gunstore is litaraly acrossed the street…maby try there? Otherwise my best bet is to sit it out for a bit…let them forget u were there and move quietly and quickly to a safer and more sucure location with better supplies

Folks first rule for this is if you know parkour/freerunning it’s the first basic defensive evasion for this kind of scenario. you could leap everywhere and go to elevated structure places while seeking for weapons and etc.

I don’t believe anyone considered the projection room a posibility. Now, from my experience, the projection room i bascically bolted shut, so no problem keeping the Zeds out. But how to get up there? Well that’s a problem, but myabe one, strong,willing individual (non-infected) would houst everyone up to the projection room by standing on the highest seat. What happens to him after that is up to him. There would no doubt be some sort of make-shift weapon up there. Or I would wait for someone to run out through the emergency exit, and if there are no screams from that direction, I’d assume the exit is Zombie free, then walk out into the streets, get to my car and grab my riffle and machette from the trunk and kick some undead ass.

Cover hands, anything from gloves to an over-shirt for slight protection when pushing undead away. Proceed out fire escape, then back into the lobby (zeds permitting, of course) to fin any melee weapon (the poles holding those rope line-markers up should suffice in a pinch) Get to your vehicle (if you drove yourself and the roads are not clogged with crashed cars already, panic and zombies combined with the already present sub-par drivers after all)Probably a good idea to swing by a fast food joint (kind of common near theaters, i believe), grab anything that doesn’t need cooked to take with you. After that, pretty much enact your zombie plan. If you both read this, and make it out of the theater, I’d wager you were prepared (mentally at least) and have a plan.

Me….Cought without my trusty KelTec P3AT……….Not in this life. But just for the sake of the discussion lets say that I plowed all my available rounds in to the crowd of undead or my gun jambed. I would run to the nearest exit and make a b-line for my car where there is always another gun (much more suitable to zombie killing). Who the F@^k cares what is out side. At least there you have a better chance to move and run. You will not be trapped. Get to a car they make great weapons……………..A bad idea now is better than a good idea later. Oh I read up top that it is not legal to carry a gun in public. You are right if you live in Cali but here in the midwest people can get CCW permits. That is the way of it. SO There you have it.

I have to say, this is a tricky one. There are normally only a few exits in a cinema. It would depend where the undead were coming from. Assuming everyone in the theatre realised they were zombies and started panicking and running, that would mean a lot of chaos. I would try to stay clear of both the crowd and the zombies, whilst moving closer to the exits. If possible, i would try to arm myself with something, like part of a chair. If there was nothing, i would wait for the crowds to thin out a bit, and hopefully there isn’t a continuous stream of zombies entering, and it’s just the group that originally arrived. By now they should have found victims already, which should make it fairly easy to move to a fire exit and shoulder my way through, keeping my significant other with me at all times.
Where i go from there, however, depends on an awful lot of things.

My plan would consist of getting to the top of the theater and get behind the seats hiding and wait until all the rest of the people are out. After that, I would yell to get the zombie’s attention, as they come up the isles, me and the sig. other would jump over the first few rows (and its not that hard to do…) until the coast is clear, then bolt for the exits.

This whole scenario is based on luck, not skill, or how well you have a zombie attack planned out. And everyone acts as if we are the only people that no what a zombie is, people do watch movies, and are not like the people of shaun of the dead, oh, some bloody drunks are in the back. People should realize what a zombie is, those who do not know will just have to suffer.

I would prefer to be the last one out of the theater, i would actually try to find a good place to hull down. I mean, there wouldn’t be much you could do, hopping over seats? yeah okay, we’re all trained ninja’s.

So like some one else said, find a place to hold down, seeing how if you hid under seats or what for the crowd to funnel out the zombies will follow the mass of meat, giving me the time to get what i can, and who i can. Followed with some love making with my significant other, maybe it’s our last few minutes, make the best of it :D.

Well, if we do survive, after blockading our selves in, I would venture to the window to access the situation, and try and make our venture outward into the world of Z.

If there are only a few zombies around (initially) in the cinema, there is a good chance you’ll be able to jump into the concession stand, find something that would serve as a weapon and make an escape plan without getting bitten or scratched by a zombie.

Next you want to acess the situation. If the cinema doors are closed, peek outside the windows to see how many undead there are. If they are open, look to see if the undead are making the cinema their main target.

Then ponder the escape routes and the location. Is the cinema in a mall? Is it close to some public transit system?

Then get the hell out of there and into your safehouse or whatever before the whole thing gets serious. If it was already, you probably shouldn’t be in the cinema in the first place.
